Several passengers on a Jet Airways flight from Mumbai to Jaipur Thursday suffered nasal and ear bleeding due to cabin pressure problem, a senior official said.
"During climb, the crew forgot to select bleed switch due to which cabin pressurisation could not be maintained.
"As a result, oxygen masks got deployed," the official at aviation regulator DGCA said.
Citing initial information, the official said few passengers have nose bleeding.
"Out of 166 passengers on board, 30 passengers are affected... some have nose bleeding, few have ear bleeding and some are complaining of headache," he added.
The official said all the affected passengers are being attended to by the doctors at the airport. Response from a Jet Airways spokesperson was awaited.
Satish Nair, one of the passengers on the flight, tweeted that it was the ‘worst apathy’ he had been through. He wrote on Twitter: “@jetairways Flight 9W 697 made an emergency landing back in Mumbai. Airplane lost pressure immediately after taking off...scores of passengers including me bleeding from nose....no staff to help...no announcement on board to wear the oxygen mask.passengersafety completelyignored”
